Ian Rush was known to conjure a decent turn of speed in his years up front for Liverpool FC, but here’s a man who could leave him behind.

Rushie met up with racing driver Declan Jones at San Carlo restaurant on Castle Street.

The young driver, who began his career in karting, signed for Century Motorsport in 2013 and became one of the youngest ever winners in the British GT Championship series.

Most recently the Liverpool-based teenager put in a sensational performance in the Michelin Ginetta GT4 SuperCup finale at Brands Hatch in October when he made his debut, coming away with a trio of top five finishes.

Insider isn’t sure whether Declan is a Reds supporter, but he could certainly pick up a tip or two about life at the top in sport from his footy legend pal.
